Anambra State FA Elections: Aniuno To Drag NFF To Court Over Dubious Election

Chairmanship aspirant in the 2016 Anambra State FA
elections, Olisa Aniuno has slammed the Nigeria Football Federation for
organizing a ‘sham election’ in the state, which has thrown Ifeanyi Ubah as
chairman in rather controversial circumstances.

The NFF had announced Wednesday May 4 for elections into the
board of the Anambra State FA, but surprisingly, ‘elections’ held on May 3, 24
hours before the scheduled date, which has now prompted Aniuno to petition both
the Glass House and the sports minister, Solomon Dalung.

And reacting to the development, Aniuno said the NFF can no
longer be trusted given how they have conducted themselves.

“I would not trust this NFF because it is still the same
characters that orchestrated the sham that was called an election in Anambra
State,” he said.

“We know we can no longer trust what they (NFF) say, but if
they follow the rules and don’t compromise, we should be able to get a good
result.

“But we are saying is that we have lost that trust, because
we trusted them and I made such pronouncements that we had full confidence in
the Ephraim Chukwuemeka committee, only for them to disappoint us,” he said.

Aniuno also added that despite not being quick to rush to
the courts, he would have no problems going that route.

“I would not have any other choice (than going to court),”
he said. “We have to first of all ask the football house to get their house in
order but it doesn’t mean we don’t know what to do legally,” he added.
